I'm a little late to this but it's absolutely hilarious how transparent the Whistleblower/Transparency 'journalists' are in dismissing & attacking any whistleblower who cuts against their narratives (aka does not attack Dems).
OH MY GOD! The (highly-educated) woman who works in tech is a liberal? Well, this changes everything. She is wholly discredited now because....uhh reasons. The only 'correct' type of whistleblowers are the ones who support Donald Trump (unlike me, who does not support Trump).
Wow, someone potentially, maybe might profit from their leaks? Better ignore the substance then. It's important to personalize it.
And btw, Glem is DISGUSTED that anyone might make money off of leaks. He would never think to do such a thing.
So old I remember that 'Julian Assange's motives, including openly cheering for Trump, saying that he was dropping (misleading( docs for maximum impact, to make Clinton lose...all of that is completely irrelevant, as long as the documents are authentic.' That's different b/c....
And they all did the same thing with the Ukraine whistleblower when he came forward to say that the president was using his power to extort an ally. "Not a real whistleblower bc maybe their motive was political and they're not being thrown in jail." Just so transparent.
Finally, will leave you with Glem's rule for whistleblowers. Yet another 'guiding principle' from the world's biggest hypocrite.

So my one goal was to figure out how to get to this biosphere place. Of course no one could tell me where to get the bus. I went to the tourist information place & of course it was shuttered. Asked a young security guy at the building next door and he was like "she left already."
Basically I needed to find the collectivo (unofficial) bus stop and either no one knew or no one could communicate it to me.
I'm determined to figure this out. Just walking all throughout the city And what do I see: Escuela de Ingles.
So I'm like, if anyone can tell me...
So I knock on the door and this lady comes out and I'm like "hablas Ingles" and she says "a little." Well, that was a lie. She was the receptionist. But she did her best to try to explain to me in Spanish. But it wasn't landing.
If you follow Nate, you'll notice how in the rare times he comments on anything Trump does, it's done completely dispassionately; 'yes, Donald Trump seems to be covering up a report implicating himself with a notorious pedophile, but I doubt this will matter much."
Whereas with Biden, every time there was a sniff of a story or he flubbed a word, Nate was on it in minutes with something like, "Jesus Christ. Get this fucking dementia patient off stage. The Democrats will never be able to live this shame down!"
People ask, 'how could voters believe Dems have positions that they don't actually believe?' Well it's because the GOP bombarded them with lies about Dems and there's just not a great answer for such weaponized shamelessness. Truth just does not work.
The GOP (and its wealthy financial backers) have basically weaponized disinformation/lies to a completely unprecedent degree. And with the rise of technology are able to pump it out completely unchallenged (especially since social media outlets have completely given up).
So the NYT politics guys did a Reddit AMA several days ago. This was the top upvoted post. And then the extremely predictable (point proving) response.
And the predictably smug/condescending follow-up
Needless to say, they were heavily down-voted and deluged with (acurate) negative comments like these
